#NZpol This will want investigating further, even if Luxon wants to try "excuse" it. Can’t be having MPs treat NZ’s money as open to pay for favoured projects or covering their arses.
NEW: Chris Bishop used housing money to fund a bridge in his electorate his own Govt had killed off.
Officials were against the move and Labour say he shouldn’t have been anywhere near the decision.

#nzpol Raise your voices loud Aotearoa New Zealand because this is definitely not OK. These people have suffered enough. They have already been put through far too much for what will be meager symbolic compensation. Some are so ill they're dying while they wait. This govt is utterly disgusting.

Our government's done a lot of appalling things; this is one of the worst

While I'm not really surprised this increasingly Christofascist government is applying their 'worthiness test' to acknowledged victims of state abuse, I am really disgusted. #nzpol

Last local elections VFF encouraged people to run for local council. Their plan was semi-successful, electing dozens of councillors and board members. This time around, they're far more organised. Read: www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

![Conspiracy theory promotion
edit
Lindsay has promoted several prominent conspiracy theories.[4][7]
He is a proponent of the right-wing LGBT grooming conspiracy theory and has been credited as one of several public figures responsible for popularizing "groomer" as a slur directed at LGBTQ educators and activists by members of the political right.[25][41][42] Lindsay has referred to the Pride flag as "the flag of a hostile enemy."[5][24]
In 2021, Lindsay wrote on Twitter that "there will be" a genocide of whites if critical race theory "isn't stopped."[43] His statement was met with widespread criticism, including from founder of libertarian anti-identity politics magazine Quillette Claire Lehmann who wrote: "James Lindsay is now peddling White Genocide Theory. Implying that a genocide against whites in the U.S. is imminent has the potential to inspire racist violence. Such comments are extreme, reckless, and irresponsible. They should be denounced."[43][44]
Lindsay has promoted the far-right Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory,[45][35][6][46] which alleges a concerted effort by Marxist critical theorists to undermine Western civilization using Marxism](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qp5fevjl7vx4rgkphkedmcpm/bafkreiff3oufkhl65x6yne3pozni5ing3mqfhgn5ivjmczspmiwohv53ku@jpeg)

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence.
It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.
